And regularly God convicts me to share my faith so that others can be saved.

Our biblical faith, melting pot unity, political institutions, social fraternities, political freedoms, and unparalleled blessings have made the United States of America a model for other nations to follow.
But recently something has happened to our populace and civics that is very concerning.
Here’s one area of U.S. culture that shouldn’t be exceptional.
